Here is the issue with the boards as of lately. I know the place is flooded with PS family news, and that's fine. As gamers you should all be happy. Sony is finally turning back to the days of the PS2. They are pushing for more and more games, dropping prices, making things the way they should have.

The PSP has so many new games coming for it, I strongly believe it is now the #1 platform for a core gamer to own. I cannot even remember how many awesome games are coming out for it.

The PS3 is finally at a fair price point, and no matter how you put it, it is selling well. This means people want a PS3. the price is low yes, but people want it, a lot of people want it. No matter how long lived the success or to what degree, as of right this moment, Sony is successful. The PS3 is sold out, its in the tops on every amazon as the highest selling console, no matter what you say, at this very moment it _appears_ that a 299$ ps3 is going to sell very well. Until we know otherwise, stop jumping to conclusions.

and CGI is far from a fanboy, honestly you might need a mirror to see things clearly.

Yeah, you'd have to be in some kind of inverted reality for CGI-Quality to be a fanboy. Also, I find it odd that somebody who joined six days ago is commenting on the current state of the forums.

There's always a buzz when something big happens in the Sony camp. It'll be gone by mid-September (sales might take a while to come in, etc.)

When I bought my copy of Sacred 2 when it first came out, the cashier at EB Games told me it was the last copy and they were selling out since it came out (this was 3 days after the release). I was surprised and glad that the game was doing well. Curious, I asked the cashier how many copies had sold and the cashier replied they only got 2 copies for the ps3 per store per day...

I think whats more unbelievable IMO, the wii has moved itself out of the top 10 best sellers on amazon, when since the day it launched it was in the top 3 spots for almost 3 years ..

@toastboy - I got your point, but didn't need to read it twice. I think we all agree that the Amazon sales chart means very little, but it would be scary if Amazon only received 1 slim. The PS3 Slim has been number 1 on their sales chart since preorders began. That would mean Amazon didn't sell any Wii Sports Resorts or Wii Fits.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.
